Encircle is the best field software we have ever used. The designer must have worked in the field because every challenge we face has been addressed in the software. The ability to provide our Customers so many types of reporting in real time helps keep our company in the forefront of our Industry.

Our forms for summer camper parents vary depending on the needs of the camper (i.e. allergies, nutrition requirements, & program desirability such as horseback riding or preferred cabin mates). This situational form allowance is a breeze with fileinvite, and the setup process is intuitive and very easy to manage as a collaboration across our entire team

Aside from a few minor recommendations, the solution is well thought through and very easy to set up. As a matter of fact, the onboarding support by the team was fantastic, and the ongoing availability to help while we were/are learning the platform has been extremely friendly and reliable.

It has been pretty smooth so far. There was an issue earlier this week that resulted in corrupted invites whereby the unique secure link failed, but I was able to resubmit the invitations quite simply, and they've assured me the issue was unusual and I won't be alarmed unless it happens again sometime soon.

They fail to have the same features and customer service

FileInvite has a lot of nice features, but the overall cost is the company's downfall. We were able to get a lot of the same features that we need for a lot less with other companies and providers.

Return on Investment
Encircle Inc.
  • Increase in Average Job Size
  • Major Increase in the QUALITY of our documentation
  • The technician say it takes longer to do the handwritten paperwork, but I would argue that they weren’t doing it the correct way before and if they were, it’s actually faster using Encircle.

  • Positive feedback from clients and employees who have used this vs Docusign.
  • Not sure about the exact ROI, however, I know that this has had significant cost savings vs the previous software.
